The Reproductive System is a system of sex organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of reproductive. Sexual reproduction is the process of producing offspring for the survival of the species, and passing on hereditary traits from one generation to the next.
The main organs of the male reproductive system are the testes, these make the sperm, Which when mixed with a female's egg starts reproduction. The sperm move from the tubles used to make sperm in the testes, the seminiferous tubules, to the epididymis. In this place sperm mature and are stored. When it is time, the sperm moves to the urethra where it leaves the body.
The main organ of the female reproductive system is the ovary, the ovary contains the egg. An egg matures in the ovary and then moves to the uterus, waiting to be fertilized. |
